Major Additions - Classifieds

Removed by the Author because:

• For 7 mods, there are 1905 downloads but only 577 clicked installed.
• For these 577 installs I got 4 donations for Brand Free. Make a simple search on the net using the product name and you'll find that 50% have illegally removed my copyright.
• I found 3 vb.org style sites, offering for download my mods but after PAID SUBSCRIPTION, or DONATION

After all, I'll stop be the idiot on this market.

I have fixed this problem of a blank page

Open the file classifieds.php

Find

PHP Code:

define('CDIR', getcwd());
require_once(CDIR . '/includes/init.php'); 


Before this add

PHP Code:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('./global.php'); 
require_once('./includes/functions_editor.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_wysiwyg.php');
require_once('./includes/class_bbcode.php');
require_once(DIR .'/includes/functions_user.php'); 


This should fix the problem of the blank page showing up.

Installed without issue on a 3.8.1 site; love it, very nice work.

Have you considered adding a field, or giving the option to add a field that would allow linking to images hosted externally? This could be used to reduce the storage space required by actually hosting the images.

Hope this makes sense .. it's way past my bedtime.

Anyway, very nice project.

Today I decided to let all my modules here unsupported, as I seen that most members dosen't respects my work, the time that I spent to develope and support them. Worst of all they don't respect even the laws.

I didn't asked anything in exchange. No money, not even to register in my site as most other developers ask for. What I asked, and I was expecting to find from their side, is a small gredit to me as a person, by letting my copyright in place.

Unfortunatelly, doing a simple search in Google (anybody can check it) for "vbulletin memberindex" I found dozens of sites having removed my copyright. Thank you all of you my dear. You're giving a shit to the only rule that I put. But I'm wondering why you don't dare to remove Jelsoft's copyright. Because it's a big company while I'm just a single person, much more, a woman. My congratulations men!!

One of them was so cool that registered in my site and post:

i saw this on vbulletin.org and thought i'd like to point something out here.
copyrighting a vbulletin addon? and trying to charge to remove the link?
heres a tip for you, rewrite the copyright to ITS FREE, DO WHAT YOU WANT. and go for a donation based system.
because guess what, thats just shitty. ++++ copyrights. specially for a addon to a forumsoftware.

Of course I don't plan to punish all other honest members who respected me. I'll continue posting most of my modules for free, I'll continue supporting them, but on my site only or to sites which accept encoded modules. Free yes... But not with visible source code any more. It's my intellectual property and I'll protect it.

Classifieds and MemberIndex will continue unencoded as they're right now. But unsupported.

Thank you for your understanding (this goes to honest users).

Hello,

After my post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=313

I decided to give to all those who installed Classifieds a file to remove (legally) my copyright link.

Download ClassfiedsBF.php and upload it to classifieds/includes/

Mary

[WavMixer]

Mary,
Thank you for offering this program to all of us for free. I have installed it on one of my clients sites leaving your copyright intact. I do appreciate you making the copyright removal tool available to everyone. I would like to make your link invisible as the members of the portal have no vBulletin modification knowledge nor desire to learn what makes their site work. With your permission I would rather leave your copyright notice, but have the text and link the same white color as the background. This way it can still be seen by the search engines, giving you credit for people that are interested in your work.

[macc]

Maria, i agree with you and hope that you will continue with your mods.

regards

Mary,

It is sad that some people always take and think they deserve everything for nothing (I could go on but I think there is a character limit, LOL).

I will continue to support your work and that of other coders who make all this better.

You go girl! :up:

Mary, for what its worth I understand what you are going through on this. Its very frustrating that some people think that just because we offer these things for members at no cost that we automatically will do everything at no cost. People that make posts like that are just +++++++s and you are right a good majority of them are most likely men. I've run into quite a few men who really have a problem with a women who is better than them at something. But keep this in mind its something that I've discovered through my years of being a designer. When they make these hurtful comments to you it because they feel inferior and they know that you are better than them. The only way they see to bring you down is to try and break you down, make fun of you, be an +++++++ etc. Keep in mind the only time they will do this is when they feel threatened, if they "feel" threatened then you are doing something right IMO. It just means they cannot handle you being good at this when they are not. Any one who is truly good as this stuff will not be threatened by you. Instead I would think it would be better to help you & treat you with respect.

Unfortunately those who remove copyrights are always going to be around and do that. Its hard to keep up with it and do anything for them. I personally have always found your work top notch.

Mary, Please please please add the optional/mandatory option on fields so that i can use it... Please...

Mary,

This is an unfortunate situation, but I respect your decision. I do hope you decide to develop these mods in the future, as they are quite useful. I would personally be interested in purchasing Classifieds, if development and support were provided.

As for the copyright removal from microMembers, some users might have removed it due to the hard coding of the link colors. This is no excuse, of course, but it may have been a factor in the number of offenses. The stock link can look unsightly within some custom styles. Instead of deleting the link, I took the time to delete the color references from memberindex.php.

OPEN:
memberindex.php

FIND:

 $copyright = "<p><div align=\"center\" class=\"smallfont\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.microhellas.com\"><b><u><font color=\"#091B63\">micro</font><font color=\"#0081D6\">MEMBERS</font></u></b></a> &copy 2008 by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.microhellas.com\"><b><u><font color=\"#091B63\">Micro</font><font color=\"#0081D6\">Hellas</u></b></font></a></p></div>";

REPLACE WITH:

  $copyright = "<p><div align=\"center\" class=\"smallfont\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.microhellas.com\">microMEMBERS</a> &copy 2008 by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.microhellas.com\">MicroHellas</a></p></div>";

Regardless of your decision, I thank you for your hard work! I do hope that at some point in the future you somehow find the time and inspiration to follow through with these wonderful mods, whether they be as commercial releases or otherwise.
